      Entrepreneurial Ecosystem insights in 2024

      • Ecosystem Overview:
        • Actors: 236 ecosystem actors and 2,158 collaborations.
        • Geographic Distribution: 65% of activities are concentrated in Doha, with regional disparities in areas like Lusail and Al-Khor.

      • Challenges Identified:
        • Regional Disparities: Overconcentration of activities in Doha reduces access in smaller regions.
        • Limited Academia-Investor Collaboration: A gap in the commercialization of research and lack of funding opportunities for startups.
        • Resource Redundancy: Critical services, such as HR and Test support, lack sufficient redundancy, compromising ecosystem resilience.
      • Opportunities:
        • Strengthen collaborations between academia and investors.
        • Support underrepresented sectors with targeted incentives and partnerships.
        • Expand regional hubs outside of Doha to create a more inclusive and balanced ecosystem.
        • Improve redundancy in key services to enhance resilience.
